JK’s Twitter account posted “gayness as its finest” and was tagged to Darren. This was the start of the controversy.
Daryl Ong said that there is nothing wrong in being gay and people should not make a fuss about it.
For former The Voice Philippines contestant, admitting one’s true identity has a liberating feeling.

In line with this thoughts from the RnB singer, Don Espanto disagreed.
The father of Darren said that the post of Daryl was one of those nonsensical messages after his son expressed his sentiments on social media.
Don Espanto added that the singer is just meddling with the issue because he knows nothing about the whole story.

He also stressed out that his son is being true to himself that is why he is retaliating to the false allegations.
Furthermore, Don said that it is already enough that the issue is already 4 years and it just involves the same perpetrator.
For the parent, it is just a natural mechanism of a human being to defend himself and his son is now old enough to do that.

In line with this, netizens reacted to the fact that adults are already involve in the word war between teenagers.
Here are some comments from netizens:
Pati oldies generation sa socmed na din dinadaan ang hanash. Pwede naman siguro nila makuha number ng isat isa at mag komprontahan ng sila lang. kailangan pang pinaglalandakan kahit problema. Sus
Actually, silang lahat kakahiya lalo na yung mga adults. Nagkakalat sa soc med.
nung isang araw pa yang tatay ni Darren, kung ako sa kanya sumali siya sa closed door meeting hindi yung nagngangawa sa socmed. Ang mga anak ang showbiz hindi yung mga magulang.
